MELISSA GILBERT AND TIMOTHY BUSFIELD

Timothy Busfield refers to himself as “the luckiest man on earth” because he is married to Melissa Gilbert. It doesn’t get any more romantic than that, doesn’t it? The 62-year-old Thirtysomething actor had to wait a while before he won her over. On to their unfinished legal separation proceedings and probably some time to pick up the pieces, Timothy must have waited for the right timing for him to pursue the wonderful actress.

Their previous marriages may have ended with the help of their lawyers, but it wasn’t all a loss for both actors. For the Little House in the Prairie star, Melissa, the third time’s a charm. Timothy pursued her so well that she said yes to him despite the first few failed marriages. Luckily, it seems they’ve done this one right as they’ve been married for nearly a decade, and just last year, they moved back to NYC, where Melissa was able to return to her first love: the theatre.
